In order to promote the heat circulation of the entire ice making chamber, an ice making fan compartment 150 with an ice making fan 151 is also provided at the front end of the ice making machine 120. The refrigerant pipe bracket of the ice making chamber is a U-shaped frame, and an air guide pipe is formed between the inner surface of the refrigerant pipe bracket 136 of the ice making chamber and the ice maker 120. The rear end of the air guide pipe is open to form an opening 1362. The front end of the air guide duct is connected to the ice making fan compartment through the air inlet 152 of the ice making fan compartment. The rear side of the ice making fan compartment 150 is provided with an air inlet 152 below the ice maker. An air outlet 153 begins in front of the ice-making fan compartment 150. After the fan is running, the ice-making fan compartment continuously sucks in air from the air duct and blows the air forward. The air blown from the ice-making compartment blows to the front wall of the ice-making compartment and then spreads in all directions, mainly downward. In turn, heat exchange occurs with different parts of the ice making chamber, such as the ice storage box, the ice crushing chamber, and the like. When the refrigerant pipeline of the ice-making chamber is operating normally, the temperature of the refrigerant pipeline of the ice-making chamber is relatively low, and the space sucked from the air guiding pipeline and the refrigerant pipeline of the ice-making chamber exchange heat, and the temperature is relatively low. After being blown out by the ice making fan, it spreads to different sections and promotes the cooling of the entire ice making room space.
